ANN ARBOR -- Brady Hoke should have a new job title by the end of the week.

The University of Michigan Board of Regents will vote on the approval of naming Michigan's head football coaching position after Ira and Nicki Harris.

Through their foundation, the Harris family made a $10 million donation to the university for the "naming and endowment of the head football coach position."

Per Michigan's official Feb. 20 regents meeting agenda, upon approval, the school's head football coach would be officially known as the "J. Ira and Nicki Harris Family Head Football Coach."

Should the regents approve the gift, the name change will become official on March 1.

The Harris family already has made various donations to Michigan and its athletic department over the years. The football program's locker room is currently named in their honor.

"This is the first endowed coach position at the University of Michigan," the official regents communication letter states. "The head football coach is responsible for preserving, enhancing and passing along the rich history and tradition of Michigan football to the next generation of student-athletes on the team.

"This endowed position will strengthen the program for years to come and ensure the future generation of student-athletes will continue to benefit from outstanding coaching and leadership."

This isn't overly uncommon in today's world of college athletics. Stanford, for example, has official endowments for both its head football coach and offensive coordinator positions.

At Michigan, the university's athletic director job title is presently officially known as the "Donald R. Shepherd Director of Athletics."
